Achievement Unlocked: 10 Years – Thank You, Xbox 360

Last November, we celebrated a major milestone, as the Xbox 360 console turned 10 years old.
The Xbox 360 helped redefine an entire generation of gaming at Microsoft. I am incredibly proud of all of the work and dedication that went into development of the Xbox 360 hardware, services and games portfolio over the last decade. And I’m grateful to the fans for their continued passion and support.
Franchises like Gears of War were born on the 360, and established blockbusters like Halo really came into their own during this console generation. Xbox 360 was also the foundation for industry-leading technical innovation like Kinect, and the start of system updates and dashboard refreshes bas...

The Division 1.1 Patch Seems to be Deleting Xbox One Users' Characters

Going rogue.

By Joe Skrebels of IGN.com

UPDATE: Ubisoft has provided IGN with a detailed update on the issue - it's mostly good news for those affected:

"Some of you reported that their characters went missing after Update 1.1. Our team has identified and fixed the source of this issue to ensure that your characters could be correctly restored.
The issue was caused by a malfunctioning server that couldn’t synchronize character data correctly and corrupted them instead. The game client was unable to read this corrupted data, and simply assumed that the character didn’t exist. Once this has been identified, we were able to res...

Xbox one vs ps4

Xbox One vs. PS4 Which Console is better

Xbox and PlayStation are constantly taking the way we game to the next level. But which console is overall better, both offer a wide wealth of features between entertainment, sharing capabilities, and backwards compatibility. Xbox One and PS4 were put thru a seven round brawl to determine which console is truly the strongest system.

Game Library:
As of fall of 2015, Xbox One has a bigger emphasis on first-party exclusives with some big titles. PS4 has a few big first- party games but Sony has mainly focused on pushing the third-party titles that also have PlayStation exclusive content. Xbox One has one major ace in the whole the backwards compatibility. These allowing Xbox One users to en...

Xbox One Backward Compatibility News

The Xbox One Backward Compatibility list of games is growing stronger, indicating that Microsoft is keeping its part of the bargain when they announced the program. However, due to technical reasons, there are only a limited number of games that the tech giant can add to the list every month. Hopefully, another set of games will be ready by the end of the month.
As of today, there are 137 Xbox 360 games available to Xbox One owners through the Backward Compatibility feature since it started back in November with only 104 games. Twelve additional games were also released last month....

Homefront: The Revolution Game Preview

Homefront: The Revolution

Welcome to the real Philadelphia, 2029.
You’ve seen the Resistance wage open guerrilla warfare in the war-ravaged outskirts of the Red Zone, while the KPA and American collaborators hide and control the city from the fortified Green Zone. But this, this is Yellow Zone.
The Yellow Zones are the densely populated areas of Philadelphia, where civilians live in constant fear. A mix of Orwellian police state and ghetto slum, the People are kept under the heel of oppression through permanent surveillance, 24-hour propaganda, and an ever-constant military presence.
But even here in the Yellow Zone, the Resistance is at work. Hiding in plain sight, blendi

February Games With Gold

It’s February 1, so it’s time for this month’s look at the Xbox One and Xbox 360 games that Xbox Live users can get for free as part of Microsoft’s ongoing Games with Gold promotion.

As you may recall, all Xbox 360 games in the Games for Gold promotion are now guaranteed to work on Xbox One in compatibility mode too. So that means Xbox One users are now really getting four free games each month.

Hitman q+a

We’re doing things a bit differently, as you may have read in our 'Announcing HITMAN' blog post. HITMAN will launch on PS4, Xbox One and PC on March 11th this year as a digital download. That’s when the experience will begin. And it’s really important to us that this is understood as a ‘beginning’.
What we release on March 11th is not the full game. It’s a sizeable chunk of it. Throughout 2016 we’ll release more locations and missions until the story arc is done and finished. All of that content is included in the $60 price.
We know that the specifics of exactly what is included on March 11th are very important to some of you. We’re finalizing those plans and look forward to sharing them with you. Stay t
